Welcome to the very first episode of Tennessee Unpacked! In this debut, we are kicking things off the right way by introducing the voices behind the mic and the stories behind the region.

Get to know all of your hosts: Ryan French of Experience Tennessee, along with a dynamic rotation from Visit Columbia and Columbia Main Street, including Kellye Murphy, Lexie Dearborn, Makenna McGowan, and Kelli Johnson. This crew brings the heart, personality, and insider perspective that will guide you through everything South Central Tennessee has to offer.

We are also setting the stage, literally, at one of Columbia's most iconic venues, The Mulehouse. Joined by Amy Fish, Director of Concerts and Private Events, we take you inside this stunning 55,500 sq. ft. multi-use entertainment space located in the heart of historic downtown Columbia. Once the First Baptist Church, built in 1936, The Mulehouse has been beautifully restored, blending rich history with modern energy, complete with original stained-glass windows, exposed brick, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Consider this your front porch introduction. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and nice to meet y'all.
